| Wooden bike in bits, ready for painting |

| The remaining Victoria folding bike with new tyres |
Only a little bit to report here now. I took apart the wooden recumbent and varnished it and plugged the holes in the frame with chair stoppers or Plastibond bog. As well I bought and just received a 11-32 tooth screw-on cluster which should fix any clunking problems. More on the bike as I head out and about on it soon.
A friend Jeremy was interested in buying one of my Victoria folders on a recent visit (bikes discussed here) so after I did up the red one with all the best parts from both bikes I offered it to him. Sold! So now I am up to 5 bikes sold for the year, on target for selling 10 by the end of the year. The remaining folding bike has not been neglected, I bought new tyres for her and fitted a short set of handlebars. The bike is great fun to ride and I took it on an op-shop excursion a few Saturdays ago. I was having trouble attaching all the videos to the pack rack till, with vast sophistication, I found a stick to complete the ocky strap arrangement.
Through the internet I have been researching and buying the best front wheel drive recumbent parts I can from Performer, Raptobike and (ebay for new Chinese stuff) Ali express. Aim to make a few of the best recumbent bikes I can and am working on the design. Of course, more on this later.
All for now,
Steve Nurse
